rh romc e

Three fraternities are facing increased pressure to reform members’ behavior, after Student Affairs administrators sent letters this summer to parents and alumni informing them of past judicial infractions. As a result of the letters, fraternity presidents have been inundated with dozens of letters from alumni, and the three fraternities—Delta Sigma Phi, .

Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Nu—

are each formulating a plan to help satisfy their concerns. “The letters were designed to put everyone into the information loop and ensure that all parties were on the same page before the academic year begins,’ said Todd Adams, assistant dean of student development. “Each organization has a different circumstance, but by and large there were some behavior patterns that were not in keeping with the standards of Duke University.” The strongest reaction has come

from SAE alumni, who this weekend interviewed almost all chapter members to determine if any should be disciplined by the fraternity itself. In the end, they suspended 17 members, who are now banned from fraternity functions and could lose their housing depending on the results of an appeal. “I think in certain situations they’ve used poor judgment, but we’re confident better judgment will be used in the future,” said SAE alumnus David BuckSee FRATERNITIES on page 8

As administrators search for more non-alcoholic social alternatives on weekends, one of the most prominent such events—the homecoming semi-formal—is in danger.

The future viability and funding of homecoming are the two top issues Cam-

pus Social Board and Event Management face. “[They have] been doing a review of homecoming, the funding and the programming to see what direction we should take institutionally,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs. The event in question is the annual semi-formal held one night of homecoming weekend on Main West Quadrangle. Campus Social Board, a programming group that was founded in 1997, has recently been in charge of organizing the event. Kelly Atkinson, a member of Campus Social Board, who is stepping down as president of the organization, said it was not the planning, but the fundraising See HOMECOMING on page 10

Bomb threat prevents House from voti g on tax hike From staff and wire reports

RALEIGH Putting an end to any thoughts of a vote on a tax increase Monday night, a bomb threat forced state lawmakers and lobbyists to evacuate the Legislative Building shortly before 6:30 p.m.

House Speaker Jim Black interrupted consideration of a patients’ rights measure on the House floor, and then announced that everyone inside should “quietly leave the building now.” Legislative security officials said a caller had phoned the bomb threat to the Wake County Sheriffs Department, which notified them. Black said he was told that the caller said “there was a bomb in the building and it would explode.” Sgt. R.T. Harris of the legislative security force said Raleigh police were searching the perimeter of the building about 8:15 p.m. and had not located any device. Black was forced to reconvene the House session at an outside mall area between the state museums of natural science and history, and then adjourn. Senate leader Marc Basnight followed suit, convening the Senate session then adjourning. The House had been scheduled to consider a proposal to raise the sales tax by a penny in a package that would also raise the income tax by

|nciriUC e

0.25 percent on income above $200,000, and bump up the excise taxes on liquor. But to offset the increase’s effect on lower-income families, it would provide some tax breaks: the addition of a state earned income tax credit, the elimination of the marriage penalty, and an increase in the tax credit per child from $6O up

to $lOO. All told, the provisions in the bill would add up to $1 billion in new revenues over the next two years. The plan has the backing of the House Democratic leadership, as well as the governor’s support; Republicans favor spending cuts instead. It was unclear whether the slim 62-58 Democratic margin in the House would be sufficient to pass the bill. Black later said that he hadn’t decided whether a vote would actually take place when

the bomb threat occurred. About 150 legislators and lobbyists milled around the building for about an hour. Many of them were prevented from retrieving their cars, parked in a basement garage under the building. When Rep. Wilma Sherrill, R-Buncombe, asked Black about getting to her car, he responded, “Mine’s not worth that much.” Rep. Thomas Wright, D-New Hanover, said

BUDGET PROTESTERS rally outside the Legislative Building earlierthis year. Budget negotiations were delayed Monday when authorities received a bomb threat. the bomb threat is more evidence that security needs to be beefed up in the building. Wright was among a group of lawmakers that pushed for a review of building security by the U.S. Secret Service. The review recommended a number of changes, but none have been implemented so far. “I know it’s too easy. This has to stop,” he said. “We owe it to our employees and the citizens that come to visit us.”

Palestinians respond by protesting and declaring three days of mourning for Zibri By GREG MYRE

The Associated Press

RAMALLAH, West Bank Raising the stakes in the Mideast conflict, Israeli helicopters fired a pair ofrockets through office windows Monday and killed a senior PLO leader, the highestranking Palestinian slain in years. Thousands of angry Palestinian protesters poured into the streets and a red-eyed Yasser Arafat declared three days of mourning for Mustafa Zibri, 63, leader of the hard-line Popular Front for the Liberation ofPalestine. In immediate retaliation, PFLP gunmen killed an Israeli in an ambush on a car in the West Bank. The Palestinians said Israel was waging an “all-out war,” while Israel

said Zibri was involved in bombing attacks and was planning more. Throughout the months of conflict, Israel has targeted Palestinians believed responsible for attacks against its soldiers and civilians, but most were considered midlevel operatives, such as bombmakers. Zibri was one of the top five figures in the PLO, headed by Arafat, the Palestinian leader. The killing took place barely 200 yards from Arafat’s West Bank headquarters in Ramallah. Zibri, widely known as Abu Ali Mustafa, headed “an active and deadly terrorist organization,” said Ephraim Sneh, Israel’s transportation minister and a retired general. Zibri was involved in seven bomb attacks in the

past six months, including a blast last week in central Jerusalem, Sneh said. Zibri’s group had claimed responsibility for the attacks shortly after they took place. The army said no one was killed in those attacks. Upon hearing the news of Zibri’s death, Arafat, who was in Gaza City, withdrew to his office for about half an hour, his aides, said. Arafat later greeted Palestinian demonstrators who shook his hand and kissed him on the cheeks. They included the leaders of militant groups that have carried out the deadliest bombing attacks against Israel, including Abdullah Shami of Islamic Jihad and, according to sources. See

Report: New budget hurts Social Security By

PHILIP SHENON

New York Times News Service

Congressional budget analysts WASHINGTON warned in a report made public Monday that the economic downturn and President George W. Bush’s tax-cut package would force the federal government to spend $9 billion from the Social Security surplus this year and billions more over the next three years. The report, from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, was more pessimistic than a projection released last week by the White House, which suggested that while the surplus was shrinking quickly, the government could still avoid using Social Security fluids to pay for other government programs. The budget office report found that the overall federal budget surplus projected for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 had dropped to $153 billion, down $122 billion from its

I 1

estimate in May. The congressional budget analysts found that the Bush tax-cut package was responsible for about two-thirds of that reduction. As a result, the report said, $3O billion would need to be taken from the Social Security surplus over three of the next four years to pay for government operations—s9 billion this fiscal year, $lB billion in 2003 and $3 billion in 2004. A $2 billion overall surplus was projected for fiscal year 2002, which would allow the Social Security fund to remain untouched next year. The White House predicted last week that there would be no need to tap Social Security at all during Bush’s first term in office since its projections showed that there would be small federal surpluses in each of the next four years: $2 billion this year, $4 billion next year, $2 billion in fiscal year 2003 and $6 billion in fiscal year 2004. Those figures cover the same scope of programs as the congressional accounting.

Beeeham takes over as Union president Presidents use bully By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

This article is the second in a weeklong series of profiles of various student leaders on campus.

Nebraska. Cornfields. Football. And the cherry blossom princess. “I have a pink sash. It says ‘Nebraska’ on it,” says junior Brady Beecham, a Nebraska native. Beecham won the honor from her state her freshman year at Duke, and it resulted in a free trip to Washington, D.C. Beecham is donning another sash this year—president of the Duke University Union. And although a junior rarely takes the position, Beecham said she can give the organization more continuity than it has had in the past. “I had been involved with the Union, and I saw a lot of opportunities to improve student programming on campus,” Beecham said. “I looked around at all the student programmers and said, ‘lf they can do it, I can do it.’” Susan Coon, dean of university life, said Beecham comes from the grassroots of the Union—Beecham was involved in Broadway at Duke and On Stage her first two years—something that helped give her a different take on Union issues. “She has served on Union committees, but not served as a committee chair, so I feel she is bringing a fresh perspective to the... Union,” Coon said. The Union runs programming and media outlets such as Visual Arts, Broadway at Duke, On Stage, Major Speakers, Freewater Films, Cable 13 and WXDU. The Union board also controls student space in the Bryan Center. Most students do not realize the vast array of programming for which the Union is responsible. Beecham, however, has a succinct way of describing what her organization does: “Things that don’t directly relate to STDs, BAG or GPA.” Beecham said her goals include working with the administration, improving internal organization and forming a closely-linked advising system. Taking a cue from the administration’s playbook, Beecham is working on a long-term plan for the Union. She envisions an organiza-

pulpit less As the job of a university president becomes increasingly complex, experts say the leaders may be less likely to speak out on controversial topics. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

BRADY BEECHAM, incoming president of the Duke University Union, hopes to fill a social void she predicts will develop as a result of the administration’s push for non-alcoholic programming.

tion that works much better with other student organizations, such as Campus Council, to provide more unified programming to create specific audiences. “The main opportunity for student programmers is to work interdependently with each other—cooperation across student organizations,” Beecham said. Beecham, who will major in biology and environmental sciences and policy, found that as she took over the Union, she became increasingly impressed with the way Duke deals with student leaders. “When I first got this job, I started looking around other campuses,” she said. “What I found was that [groups similar to the Union] don’t exist. Duke really gives a lot ofpower to students and student leaders—money power, decision-making power and resource power.” Beecham and the Union’s committee chairs kept busy over the summer using

that power to establish several programs for the fall. For instance, Lech Walesa, the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner, former Solidarity leader and president of Poland from 1990 to 1995, will come to Duke during parents’ weekend. In the long run, Beecham fears there will be a social void as administrators push for more non-alcoholic programming. Now, fraternity parties are often the only option for students on weekends late at night. Beecham said the Union plans to show movies late at night, but that the group has yet to come up with other activities. “The Union will be even more important in [the] future as the role of fraternities on campus changes,” she said. “Right now, they are the main provider of big weekend parties. As fraternities move into new roles on campus, there’s a big vacuum that student programmers are going to be asked to fill.”

Last July President Nan Keohane, along with 41 other university presidents, penned a letter to President George W. Bush, urging him to reconsider his energy policy, which relies heavily on fossil fuels. But such political activism is no longer common among university presidents. Keohane is likely to be remembered for the $2 billion capital campaign she led. But she, like many ofher peers, may not leave as strong a political legacy. Education experts say they have noticed that university presidents in general are less likely to speak publicly and passionately about controversial topics. James Duderstadt, president emeritus of the University of Michigan and a scholar of the modern university, said presidents face a much more complex job, leading them to remain silent more often on political issues. Duke President Emeritus Keith Brodie agreed. “The job has become more focused on fundraising,” said Brodie, who led the University from 1985 to 1993. “You don’t want to take a stand that will cause you to lose the ability to raise money from all segments of the University community,

principally the alumni.” Brodie said that during his time, he See

Women’s Studies welcomes director � Robyn Wiegman took over as director of the Women’s Studies Program this summer, succeeding founder Jean O’Barr, who led the program for 18 years. By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

THE DURHAM BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS met Monday evening and approved revisions to a plan that would develop the more than 42 acres next to Leigh Farm Park.

Board okays revised rezoning plan

Previous revisions were amended to gain support from Leigh Farm Advisory Committee Becky Heron. “The transportation [issues] were not

taken care of.”

The Durham Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved revisions to a rezoning and development plan for more than 42 acres adjacent to Leigh Farm Park last night, ending two years of controversy over the development. The Leigh Farm Advisory Committee, a group formed to support the preservation of the historic farm and city park, had originally struck a deal with Borden & Bocook Commercial Real Estate of Durham in 1999 to develop an office park near the intersection of N.C. 54 and Interstate 40. The original development plan drew criticism that it would be likely to bring even more traffic to an already clogged N.C. 54. “The [original] plan was bad,” said commissioner

Despite some commissioners’ reservations, however, the original plan was approved in 1999 with the support of the Leigh Farm Advisory Committee. The committee reversed their support, however, when the project was sold in 2000 to TriProperties of Durham, who added plans for a six-story hotel and eliminated a proposed parking garage and other measures that were meant to reduce the impact of increased traffic. Those changes angered the Leigh Farm supporters, who said the new developers should not have made such drastic revisions without consulting them. Although former city/county planning director Norm Standerfer maintained that the two plans See COMMISSIONERS

Times have changed a little since Robyn Wiegman and her friends first published a feminist newspaper as Indiana University undergraduates in the 19705. Working under a rule that decisions must be made unanimously, they often struggled with the boundaries of feminism. “Friendships were lost over the concepts of shaving and leather,” Wiegman recalls now. “We ended up not doing a lot of things because we couldn’t agree, but the things we were able to do we all shared.” As she settles in as the new director of the Women’s Studies Program, Wiegman hopes to bring that same energy level to one of the most emerging fields at the University. She has some large shoes to fill—succeeding Jean O’Barr, program founder and its leader for 18 years—but Wiegman expressed optimism at the challenge of leading the program into a new generation. “There is still a continuity offeminism for the new generation, but it does not have to be the same conversation. This generation has a very different cul-

tural context,” she said. “The founders of women’s studies went through a time ofrevolution. They had a feeling that they would change the world. People of my generation don’t really have that.” Even still, women’s studies is intertwined with activism more than other fields, Wiegman said. She completed her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington at Seattle and then taught at several schools before coming to Duke last year. Along the way she has tried to remain politically involved, attempting to forge a compromise between academics and activism. “Coining into a university puts you on university time, so there is constantly a struggle: Is social movement the only form of social transformation?” Wiegman said. As she tries to answer that question, Wiegman will have a lot of resources to work with. The program was granted tenure spaces for professors two See WIEGMAN on page 11 ¥"

Court declares affirmative action policy illegal By DAVID FIRESTONE

New York Times News Services

ATLANTA A federal appeals court panel ruled unanimously Monday that the admissions policy of the University of Georgia, which gives a slight preference in bonus points to nonwhite students, is unconstitutional. The three judges on the panel said the university failed to prove that having more nonwhite students on campus would lead to a more diverse student body. Under some interpretations of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the landmark 1978 Bakke case, the creation of a more diverse student body might have justified the university’s giving black students extra points in its admissions calculations. But the federal appeals court rejected that logic. “Racial diversity alone is not necessarily the hallmark of a diverse stu-

dent body,” the judges on the panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, “and race is not necessarily the only, or best, criterion for determining the contribution that an applicant might make to the broad mix of experiences and perspectives” that create diversity. The court added that the university “did not even come close” to making the case that a greater variety of races automatically equals diversity. Monday s ruling is the latest of several court decisions barring race as a factor in school admissions. A federal appeals court banned the practice in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana in 1996, and earlier this year a federal judge struck down the University of Michigan’s race-conscious admissions policy used in its law school. However, last December a federal judge in Detroit

upheld the University of Michigan’s affirmative action policy for undergraduate admissions. The conflicts in rulings and differences in legal reasoning are widely expected to send the issue of race-

based admission policy back to the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time since 1978.

Although the University of Georgia is likely to appeal the decision, the force of the ruling is a severe blow to a policy strongly supported by a succession of state and university leaders. Having admitted no black students for its first 160 years, the University of Georgia has been more tenacious than most of its peers in maintaining its system of assigning bonus points to nonwhite students to increase their chances of admission. In a statement issued Monday after-

noon, the university’s president, Michael F. Adams, gave no indication that he was ready to back down from that policy, although he did not specifically say what his next step would be. The university could appeal to the full 11th Circuit of 12 judges, and then to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Sometimes you are defined by the battles in which you engage rather than by those you win,” Adams said. “We are clearly disappointed in the court’s decision. We certainly respect the court, but may have a differing opinion about whether the university’s admissions program is narrowly tailored. I would hesitate to say anything further until we have had in-depth consultation with legal counsel, the chancellor and the governor’s office.” Lee Parks, the Atlanta lawyer who See

NIH releases list of approved stem cell researchers By NICHOLAS WADE

New York Times News Service

An unexpected new order of world powers has emerged, at least in the field of human embryonic stem

The roster, say scientists who back the research, is evidence of the inventiveness of the newcomers but also shows how much the usual powerhouses of biomedical research in the United States and Europe have been held back by political and ethical debate.

Iraq claims to have shot down a pilotless U.S. plane By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON A pilotless U.S. reconnaissance plane failed to return from a mission over southern Iraq on Monday. Iraq claimed it shot down the plane and U.S.

officials did not dispute that. The incident underscored the dangers facing U.S. and British pilots who regularly patrol the skies over Iraq and encounter anti-aircraft artillery and other air defense forces almost daily. The Iraqi government considers the patrols illegal and in recent months has developed more effective coordination between its early warning radars and anti-aircraft missiles, heightening the danger to pilots. In northern Iraq Monday, U.S. planes attacked an SA-3 surface-to-air missile site near the city of Mosul after taking fire from Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery guns, U.S. military officials said. Iraq said one civilian was killed in

the attack. Pilotless aircraft capable of transmitting live images to U.S. command posts outside of Iraq are used to supplement air patrols by Air Force F-16s and other manned aircraft in both northern and southern Iraq. Whether the Air Force drone, known as a Predator, was shot down or crashed due to a technical failure, it was the first American aircraft of any kind to be lost in Iraq since the accidental shootdown of two U.S. Army helicopters by U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters in 1994. In July an Air Force U-2 surveillance plane was rocked by the concussion from an Iraqi surface-to-air missile. TTie U.S. plane was not hit but the missile explosion was close enough to be felt by the crew. U.S. and British forces began monitoring no-fly zones over Iraq a decade ago. One reason the Pentagon is developing unmanned reconnaissance aircraft like the Predator is to lessen the risk to pilots. During the 1999 NATO bombardment of Kosovo, more than a dozen unmanned U.S. aerial vehicles, including four Predators, crashed or were shot down over hostile territory. In a brief statement from U.S. Central Command headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., a spokesperson, Col. Rick Thomas, said it was not clear what had happened to the Predator on Monday. ‘The aircraft may have crashed or been shot down,” Thomas said. The spokesperson said U.S. officials are aware that Iraq is trying hard to down a manned aircraft. “Iraq has enhanced its air defense capabilities,” Thomas said, “so there is a risk and we’ll take steps to mitigate that risk.” Iraqi state-run television showed footage of what it claimed was the downed plane reduced to piles of scorched wreckage in the desert. “U.S. Navy Prop” was

David Lapan, said it was not possible to determine conclusively from the images shown by Iraqi television whether the wreckage was that of a U.S. aircraft. Lapan said the video footage showed the name “Sierra Monolithics” on one component in the wreckage. A California company, Sierra Monolithics Inc., manufactures video transmitters and receivers which enable two-way communication between unmanned aerial vehicles and their ground stations. Company officials could not be reached immediately to determine whether Sierra Monolithics supplies parts to the Predator drone. The official Iraqi news agency said a U.S. plane was shot down near the southern city of Basra, 340 miles south of Baghdad. Pentagon officials said the Predator was lost not far from Basra.

Ed by the Iraqi news agency as saying his country is “determined to inflict more losses on the U.S. and

British aggressors.” American and British aircraft regularly patrol nofly zones over Iraq to protect Shiite Muslims in the south and Kurds in the north from attacks by govern-

ment forces. The southern patrols also provide early warning of potential Iraqi military moves toward the

Kuwaiti border.

Thomas said there is no plan to attempt to recover the Predator, which was reported lost at 2 a.m. EDT. “No sensitive technology will be compromised by not recovering the aircraft,” Thomas said. The unarmed plane, which is 27 feet long with a wing span of 48 feet, cruises at speeds ranging from 80 to 140 mph at altitudes up to 25,000 feet. It flies slower and lower than the manned aircraft used over Iraq and thus is an easier target for Iraqi gunners.

Court makes unanimous decision in race bias case p- GEORGIA from page 5

represents the three white women who sued the university after being rejected for admission in 1999, said he considered the opinion the definitive legal statement striking down the notion that diversity is related to race. “What the court said is that diversity isn’t about race, it’s about the individual backgrounds of students,” said Parks, who has long been active in working against racial preference systems. “For so long, the civil rights groups have tried to create a linkage between race and diversity, but now we can see that it’s really nothing more than a racial quota system.” In the opinion, written by Judge Stanley Marcus, the court said that if the university wants to create a community where students are exposed to different backgrounds and experiences, there are times when a white student may contribute more than one who is not white. A white applicant from rural Appalachia may contribute more to the student body than a nonwhite applicant from suburban Atlanta, the judges said. Marcus was joined in the opinion by Judges Stanley F. Birch and Harlington Wood Jr,, a visiting judge from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Race can be considered as a factor in encouraging diversity, but it cannot mechanically be assumed that every nonwhite student will automatically contribute more to a diverse campus than white students, the opinion said. Therefore, the university’s system of adding points to the admissions score of every nonwhite applicant violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, the opinion said, because the university is required by pre-

The goals of this course are to enhance students’ skills in conducting original empirical research in public policy on topics relevant to children. This course will give students a chance to get involved in the field in research being conducted at the Center for Child and Family Policy. Class meetings will be devoted to learning methods of research in child policy, becoming familiar with substantive problems that are being addressed by research, and learning how to read original research articles in a critical way. Each student will be matched with an ongoing field project and will contribute to that project in a tangible way. At the end of the course, students will be prepared to work on an honors thesis or other independent research.

TTH 5:30-6:45

The 1990s have been the decade of globalization. Is the process of globalization gender-neutral? Does it affect men and women in the same way? Do men and women have different perceptions of international development, security and human rights? This course tackles these questions and more. It is designed to give a broad overview of gender issues in international political, economic and social development. We will examine the impact of globalization on women worldwide and address some contemporary issues facing women in developed countries, countries in transition and the developing world. Additionally, we will explore how women themselves affect the pattern of international development.

The commissioners’ approval of the plan, which was presented without opposition as part of the board’s regular session agenda, signified a formal binding of the development plan to the site, thereby reducing the potential for confrontational negotiations with developers should the land ever change hands again.

University conducts review of homecoming dance HOMECOMING from page 1 that made organizing the event difficult. “Administrators were very supportive, but it was very tough coming up with all the money” she said. “It was kind of a frustrating experience, because you didn’t have much time to actually plan the physical event.” In the past, there were no budgeted funds for the event and the board had to raise about $34,000 from a variety of sources, including the Department of Alumni Affairs, the division of Student Affairs, the Department of Athletics and various student groups. The review of the event is being conducted by Jeanne Kirschner in Event Management. She said she hopes the review will help determine the direction in which the University can go for Homecoming in the future. Duke Student Government President C.J. Walsh said he hoped the event would continue. “I think it’s been really marketed successfully toward the freshman class,” he said. “It’s one of those things that’s sort of an extension of the orientation.” Kirschner added that upwards of 1,000 students have attended the event in the past. Last year, however, a conflict with the men’s basketball team, which was playing in the

miuot

Preseason National Invitational Tournament, left attendance faltering. “I really don’t have a whole lot to offer,” Kirschner said. “We’re kind of floundering.” The review is set to be finished soon, however, in time to perhaps save this year’s semi-formal. “It’s a funding issue. Here it is, homecoming, and we have no set budget,” Kirschner said. “The semi-formal has no centralized funding, unlike Last Day of Classes and Devil’s Eve. What are we going to do about that, and is this something we want to continue?” Neither DSG nor the Duke University Union, who together have access to over a million dollars of student money, contribute funds to the semiformal. Walsh said that, although DSG has helped out with manpower in the past, the legislature’s Student Organization Financial Committee has never allotted money to the event. Vinny Eng, SOFC chair, said DSG does not have enough money to fund homecoming. “I think at one point the Union was more involved,” said Brady Beecham, Union president.“Someone spends a lot of money putting a tent up and a band, but most students just see it on their way walking to a ffat party.” The Union, like the campus social board, is involved in campus-wide, non-alcoholic student programming.

Wiegman hopes to first fill 3 open faculty spots � WIEGMAN from page 4 years ago, and is currently looking to fill three open faculty spots. As the program grows, the natural question arises of whether the program could soon be promoted to the de-

partmental level. Such classifications, however, have become less distinct in recent years with several programs getting tenure lines, and it is not clear how much the program would gain with a department label. “The widespread awareness of women’s studies within the University and a solid base of finances have secured a foundation for the program,”

O’Barr adding

said, that

Duke’s program has the largest endowment in the country. “When every- jean o’Barr body recognizes a field by granting it tenure lines, it immediately gains prestige, and that is a natural step in the evolution of a

field.” Another of Wiegman’s first priorities will be curriculum reform. Once additional professors are in place, Wiegman hopes to consider a Ph.D. program and offer more courses that originate from women’s studies.

I m really interested in examining where women’s studies and feminism have not been able to travel, and help it to expand,” Wiegman said. “We have been strongest in the humanities and social sciences, but science is still changing the way humans are understood, from division of labor to sexuality.” Specifically she hopes to focus on links to the genetics revolution and globalization—two areas focused on by Building on Excellence, the University’s long-range plan. Eventually such courses would allow the program to redesign its major to focus more on departmental courses. “You want to own your major. You want your faculty to have control over the curriculum,” she said. As women’s, studies evolves, however, it still faces challenges to its status as an academic field, said Mary Davidson, communications chair of the National Women’s Studies Association. “The biggest challenge that we’re facing at the moment is some of the backlash from the right,” she said. In particular, she cites a trend by many universities to convert women’s studies programs into gender studies programs. Such changes ignore the original purpose of the field, she said. “Post-feminism is ridiculous because it assumes that we’ve solved all the problems,” Davidson said. “I have a T-shirt that says ‘l’ll be post-feminist

Instructor: James Cook, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Sociology Professor Cook joined the Duke faculty after receiving his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Arizona in 2000. His research focuses on social networks and their impact on political decision-making. Dr. Cook is currently conducting research on the impact of social networks on the formation of political coalitions in the U.S. Congress. Other recent work is dedicated to understanding homophily, the tendency of individuals to form social ties to those like themselves.

Course Overview In recent years, political figures as diverse as Pat Buchanan, john Hagelin, John McCain, Ralph Nader, and Ross Perot have mounted national political campaigns based on the contention that business groups wield powerful control over American Politics. This course is dedicated to assessing that

contention. Students will begin their study with the consideration of the social forces that unify and divide the American corporate community. Then, continue with a review of theories of business-state interaction, including pluralism, state autonomy, and elite domination. Practical means by which businesses attempt to influence policy will be considered, with attention to case studies. These efforts culminate in the successful completion and presentation of research projects by teams of students. The course concludes with discussion and debate of ethical implications for business and policy leaders.

Football prepares for ACC champs By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

True, the game features a team that played in last year’s national championship game against a team that was winless a year ago. But instead of looking back on last season, Duke coach Carl Franks is focusing on the future, starting with Saturday’s game against No. 7 Florida State. “There’s no doubt it’s a tremendous challenge,” Franks said. “But it also is a great opportunity if you can go out there and play well. “You don’t get opportunities like this often in life where you have a chance to create a memory of a lifetime. It would certainly be something people all over the country would talk about. We have nothing to lose. Well go out there and play loose, play hard, enjoy ourselves and see whathappens.” There are a few reasons for Duke to be hopeful. For starters, at least Chris Weinke isn’t playing. The Florida State quarterback threw for a school-record 536 yards and five touchdowns last year against the Blue Devils, but the Heisman Trophy winner has since graduated. Redshirt freshman Chris Rix will assume Weinke’s place this year. “He’s a quarterback at Florida State so he’s probably a pretty good one,” Franks joked. Rix runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds and can throw a football over 70 yards. Still, the redshirt freshman will be making his first collegiate start Saturday, and the Santa Margarita, Calif, native’s inexperience may hamper his performance in the season opener. “When I look at a freshman quarterback, especially with all the pressure that comes with being at Florida State, I can’t wait to get a hit on him,” said senior linebacker Nate Krill, who is healthy again after sitting out last season while recovering from back surgery. Also in Duke’s favor is the fact that the Seminole offense was overhauled in the offseason. Including Weinke, the offense lost six starters, including All-American receiver Marvin “Snoop” Minnis and featured running See FOOTBALL on page 15 IN-

Cargill unable to win at U.S. Open By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

Nearly a month-and-a-half after deciding to leave Duke in search of a career on the Women’s Tennis Association tour, Ansley Cargill qualified for and competed in the 2001 U.S. Open Monday. The 19-year-old lefthander fought tooth-andnail with crafty veteran Ai Sugiyama in the first round of the Open Monday afternoon before falling to the world’s 39th-ranked player, 7-6 (74), 6-3, at the U.S. Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. Sugiyama will move on to face 20th-seeded Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, who disposed of Petra Mandula in three sets during yesterday’s action. Despite losing in the opening round of the Open for the second consecutive year, Cargill was

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

pleased with her performance against Sugiyama, who has 10 more years of professional experience than Cargill and has been ranked as high as the No. 1 doubles player in the world. “I think she was just a little bit more experienced than I was at this moment,” Cargill said. “She was ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles, she’s been in the top-15 in singles and she’s been playing for a decade or so. I knew she would be a solid player, so it was a good opportunity to go out and play her.” Even though Cargill valued the chance to compete against one of the game’s best players, it was the Atlanta, Ga., native who impressed the U.S. Tennis Center patrons at times with her solid grasp of the game. Sugiyama’s straight-set victory was hardly representative ofthe competitiveness of the match, as the Kanagawa, Japan native only won ten more points than Cargill and actually had a lower first-serve percentage than the recent Duke departee. However, after Sugiyama was able to pull out the first-set tiebreaker by a razor-thin margin, she gained a mental advantage over Cargill.

NATE KRILL, shown here in action against Virginia, is eager to return to action against Florida State’s inexperienced quarterback, Chris Rix.

Little League investigates eligibility of Bronx pitcher By DAN LEWERENZ The Associated Press

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Little League is investigating pitcher Danny Almonte after being shown a document that indicated the ace from the Bronx might be older than allowed. The Rolando Paulino Little League insists Almonte is 12 years old, born April 7, 1989, in Moca, Dominican Republic. But Little League World Series officials were shown an affidavit Monday by a Sports Illustrated

DANNY ALMONTE, shown here pitching in the Little League World Series, may be 14 years old.

writer that indicated a Danny Almonte was born April 7, 1987, in the town, said league spokesman Lance Van Auken. Documents previously submitted to Little League by the Rolando Paulino team to prove Almonte’s eligibility showed him being born to the same parents in the same town, but in 1989. Van Auken said Little League also was faxed another document Monday afternoon that was similar to the one obtained by Sports Illustrated but showing Almonte being born in 1989. Little League rules prohibit any player bom before Aug. 1,1988 from competing this year. “If this is the same Danny Almonte who played for Rolando Paulino Little League, then we have been deceived, and a fraud has been perpetrated on Little League and the millions of youngsters for whom Little League is so important,” said Little League Inc. President Stephen Keener. In a statement released Monday, Little League officials said they contacted the Rolando Paulino league in the Bronx, N.Y., which insisted all of its players were eligible and promised to provide further documentation to support their claim. Rick McCabe, a Sports Illustrated spokesman, said the magazine was “working, on a Little League story” but would not comment further until the story was ready for publication. An official with the Rolando Paulino league questioned the new document. “Rolando, before he lets the kids into the league, he gets the original birth certificate and a passport, because he doesn’t want these kinds ofproblems. This is a surprise to us,” said Joann Dalmau, a spokesperson for the Rolando Paulino team. “What more can we provide, if we have provided an original birth certificate and a passport? Anything else is irrelevant. I don’t know what document they have, but they’re wrong,” she said. If Almonte was found to be ineligible, the Bronx team could be forced to forfeit its last win, the consolation game against Curacao, Netherlands Antilles.

league’s charter. But Van Auken said that given the documents in Little League’s possession, no immediate action would be taken.

“We have in our possession now the same type of documentation that it appears Sports Illustrated has,” Van Auken said. “The document we have says 1989, the document they have says 1987, so as far as we’re concerned, the team is still the third-place team in the

World Series.” But he added that the investigation was continuing and Little League officials might have to travel to the Dominican Republic. Almonte was the most dominating pitcher at the World Series this year, throwing a perfect game in the opener against Apopka, Fla. Almonte struck out the first 15 Apopka batters in the tournament’s first per-

fect game in 44 years. Almonte followed that with a one-hit shutout in the U.S. semifinals against Oceanside (Calif.) American, a team that came in averaging .333 with five batters at .500 or better. He finished the tournament with 46 strikeouts, giving up only three hits in three starts. A run scored in last inning of his final game was the only run scored on Almonte all summer. “Anyone who could do to our team, to the Florida team, to the California team what he did—l wanted to believe in my heart that he was 12 because I was witnessing greatness on the level of a Michael Jordan or a Tiger Woods,” said Tom Hart, whose State College, Pa., team was beaten by the Bronx in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship with Almonte pitching a nohitter. “In my heart, I felt I was witnessing something illegal, and he robbed my kids of their dream,” Behind Almonte’s pitching and a solid defense, the Bronx team went 4-1 at the World Series and finished third.- The team’s only loss was a rematch against Apopka in which Almonte couldn’t pitch because of a rule that prohibits pitchers from starting consecutive games.

back Travis Minor. Florida State also said goodbye to offensive coordinator Mark Richt, now Georgia’s head coach. If the Seminoles could ever be called vulnerable, now might be the time. “A lot of times we’re playing them in the sixth or seventh game of the season when they have a lot of confidence,” Krill said. “Right now, I’m sure they have confidence in themselves, but they haven’t put it on the field yet. They haven’t seen how it works as a group.” Meanwhile, the Blue Devils are hoping that their offense does not continue a pattern of starting the season slowly. Last year’s squad managed only 22 points in its first four games. “I expect [the offense] to be more consistent because [junior quarterback D. Bryant] is going to be a lot better,” Franks said. “He’s mobile in the pocket, so we can do a few more things offensively. Our receivers are more experienced, our running backs are more experienced—everything lends itself to the fact that we should be much better on offense.” Injury report: The Blue Devils start the season relatively healthy, with only two backup linebackers officially out of Saturday’s game. J.T. Cape, who started against Clemson last year, is out with a shoulder injury, while redshirt freshman Paul Pugsley is out with a leg injury.

Cargill has few regrets over leaving Duke P~ CARGILL from page 13

“I didn’t lose steam so much, but she gained confidence after I lost the first-set tiebreaker,” Cargill said. “I started missing some critical service returns which gave her more leeway in hitting her first serve. She was missing a number of first serves in the first set, so once her first serve started going in during the second set, she gained a lot more confidence.” Although Cargill will have to wait until January to compete in her next Grand Slam singles event, she has enjoyed her time on the tour over the past three months and has few regrets about her deci-

The Chronicle Playing by the rules New NCAA procedures stop punishment of schools that unknowingly violated regulations

Corey

Maggette has not played for Duke in over two years, yet actions from before he even matriculated still continue to haunt the men’s basketball program. Maggette, now a professional basketball player with the Los Angeles Clippers, long ago forfeited his amateur status by accepting payments from Amateur Athletic Union coach Myron Piggie. University athletic officials insist that they knew nothing of Maggette’s past actions but until this summer faced imminent charges from an NCAA rules committee that was seemingly forced by rigid rules to take back 45 percent of Duke’s 1999 tournament revenue and revoke the team’s second-place finish. Curiously, the outlook is less grim now. Until late April, the NCAA Championships and Competition Cabinet was to have ruled on the Duke case using regulations that dictated an ineligible player’s contribution “shall be deleted” and that the team’s standings “shall be adjusted accordingly.” Now, under regulations that took effect during the summer, the Committee on Infractions will oversee such investigations with the increased latitude to interpret the rules because every “shall” in the regulations has been replaced with a “may.” The timing ofthe decision should certainly raise some eyebrows. Three weeks after an NCAA poster child wins the national championship, the committee conveniently passes legislation that has the potential to let Duke off easily. The University of California at Los Angeles, which also unknowingly played an ineligible player, was not so fortunate. Jaßon Rush took payments and even a car from Piggie before he donned the UCLA jersey, and the NCAA forced the school to return funds. Although Duke is the fortuitous beneficiary, the change is long overdue. Universities can only look into a player’s record so much prior to matriculation, and sometimes players such as Maggette and Rush will slip through the cracks. Punishing schools which have genuinely attempted to investigate a player’s background, on the same par as those schools that have not, discourages good intentions. As long as the NCAA operates under its current system of amateurism, it should not allow players who have received payments and gifts at any time to retain their eligibility. At the same time, the NCAA must provide a set of standards ofhow much inquiry schools should make so as to protect themselves from these later discoveries. Those schools that make the concerted effort should be rewarded for their ethics while those that turn a blind eye should face penalties. While some can fault the environment that many athletes come from, these individuals are the ones who ultimately choose to forfeit their amateur status. Rush may be able to claim ignorance about the money, but receipt of a car stretches credibility to a snapping point. The NCAA has good reason to declare these players ineligible as it emphasizes amateur competition. Penalizing well-meaning schools for athletes’ pre-college behavior, however, creates an unfair playing environment that is unhealthy for basketball and collegiate athletics overall.

Commentary

Bush policies try U.K. relationship The foundation of U.S. foreign policy since at least 1915 has been the transatlantic relationship, and no nation on the other side ofthe Atlantic has been more critical to the preservation ofAmerica’s leadership in Europe than the United Kingdom. In the two world wars, the United States offered substantial aid—often free of charge—to its closest ally in the Old World even before it officially entered the conflict itself. Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s famous friendship with President Franklin Roosevelt ensured that the so-

called “special relationship” would last long after the reestablishment of peace. The extraordinary nature Pavel of this relationship makes Mokhanov recent political tensions between the two powers disconcerting and even worrisome. Certain policies of President George W. Bush’s new administration, combined with renewed post-electoral activism of Prime Minister Tony Blair, threaten to destabilize the heart of NATO, the bedrock on which Europe’s collective security has relied for over half a century. Some background is in order to highlight the scope of the “special relationship.” The U.K. is the center of America’s strategic forces in Europe, but even by itself, it is still the world’s third-greatest nuclear power. Its submarine-launched Trident missiles and Invincible-class aircraft carriers project naval power even further than the English Channel, complementing American forwarddeployed forces around the world and helping to provide a strategic deterrent against potential foes of the British Isles or continental powers. British and American intelligence services routinely share the most sensitive information, as any James Bond fan doubtlessly knows. Still, even more important than the close military ties are the diplomatic ones. Both nations bear veto power in the United Nations Security Council and have always been a strong voting bloc. They have stood together even when France, the only other western democracy on the council, has dissented on such issues as sanctions against Iraq. In recent years, by a curious coincidence, the ideology of leaders in the White House and 10 Downing Street had much in common: President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; George Bush and John Major; Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. The leaders in each pair were personal friends as well as political allies. Now, the re-election of Blair on a neo-liberal platform and Bush’s strongly conservative policies have seemingly ended this unison between Washington and London. .

For instance, Europe has always been much more pro-environment than the U.S.,

but the current Bush administration’s wholesale rejection of the Kyoto Protocol on toxic emissions has widened this rift. Blair’s cabinet ministers have indicated that while they understand the economic arguments behind Bush’s stance, they consider his dismissive attitude to be foolhardy, if not arrogant. A similar spat between the two capitals occurred over an even more important matter: the proposed national missile defense system. A resolution at a recent meeting of NATO’s most senior governing body, roundly chastised Bush’s uncompromising position that the system be built as soon as pos-

sible. Such a move would result inAmerica’s withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia, something Europeans understandably fear threatens to destabilize the entire international strategic situation. To be sure, it is the sovereign right of any nation-state to repudiate a treaty, but doing so is always a grave step, especially if the treaty involves the two most fearsome

armed forces in history. Countries can disagree, even if they are the closest allies. In and of itself, that is not a crisis. It is worrisome, though, that sudden policy shifts on the part of the U.S. administration have begun to severely alienate this country from the rest of the western world. If Britain will not stand by the United States, then who will? Reactions in London to U.S. policies should be a kind of measuring stick for Washington. Blair has signaled his willingness to tolerate a lot from Bush but only to a point. Just prior to the G8 summit in Genoa, Blair diplomatically stated that national missile defense is, at best, premature. That ought to have sent a strong signal to the White House that it has simply gone too far. In a recent speech in this country, Blair listed some of the reasons that make the Anglo-American relationship so strong: a common language, an uncompromising belief in the rule of law, mutually beneficial commercial ties. These will undoubtedly outlast any short-term political differences, so excessive concern is premature, but history shows that even the best of friends can quickly become foes. When France ordered all U.S. troops from its soil under President Charles de Gaulle, it did so in spite of a military relationship that went back to the Revolutionary War. While no one is suggesting that Britain is about to take such a drastic step, the risk must not be ignored.

The not-so-great Helmsman

PAGE 23 �TUESDAY, AUGUST 28,2001

North Carolina senator has led an embarrassing, ineffective career

Sen. Jesse Helms announcement that he will not seek a sixth term has fawning generated treatments of him in the liberal media. But Helms still has more than a year to go in public office before ending a career that has

been nasty, brutish, and

Benson far too long. We would do well to remember that in excruciating, honest detail. To give credit where it is due, Jesse Helms has had strengths. His office has top-notch constituent service. He got farmers federal aid. He opposed the repressive regime in Cuba, and helped Taiwan avoid forcible annexation by authoritarian China. Finally, he is a faithful husband and extends a folksy charm to his supporters. That’s about where Helms’ good things end. His political career began in the -19505, in Willis Smith’s campaign for U.S. Senate that used blatant racist appeals to win the white vote. But Helms’ influence blossomed in the -19605, when WRAL-TV gave Helms a five minute editorial in its newscast. For 12 years, he browbeat advocates of inteother gration, opportunity and American ideals, largely by red-baiting: “There is nothing to distinguish these people fundamentally from the most

government in South

Africa, but at an official reception, he deliberately turned his back on Nelson Mandela, newlyelected president of South Africa, and walked out. In fact, Helms’ most offensive and stereotyping comments were always directed at minorities. “All Latins are volatile people” was one that wasn’t directed at blacks. But he saved his most paranoid statements for homosexuals, claiming that “The New York Times and The Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals,” that at The Post, “just about every person down there is homosexual or lesbian.” He opposed the

How much more can reasonably be expected of housing? In the June 8 issue of the Wall Street Journal, an article appeared titled, “Campus Currency; At Elite Universities, A Culture of Money Highlights Class

Divide.”

The author

chose Duke

University to illustrate his point. I read the article with great interest as the writer, Jonathan Kaufman, point-

ed out something that most Dukies hardly ever think about —not everyone is as financially fortunate as they are. Kaufman revealed the facts about camDjuranovic are not prominent in life that pus Duke’s viewbooks or incorporated into the regular campus tour—mainly that on average students spend $825 on “non-academic discretionary items such as eating out, movies, clothes and CDs” and that Duke has the worst “economic diversity” among the elite colleges. For all the pompousness we like to attribute to the top Ivy League schools, there are fewer kids here at Duke who come from poor or lower middle-class households than at Harvard according to the article. Of course, to anyone who’s quickly surveyed the Blue Zone’s tapestry of luxury vehicles none of this is news. But is there anything that can be done to alleviate the effects ofthis class divide? I honestly don’t think there is; on this issue, I don’t think that much substantial criticism can be levied against the Duke administration. For example, the writer made mention of Duke’s unique housing situation: “Prices range from $3,200 a year for the one-bedroom apartment... share[d] with a roommate to $6,200 for an air-conditioned single room in a more central location,” Kaufman wrote. But is that really so unreasonable? Sure, we complain about the frats hogging up the best housing options, but a Main West Campus lined with Greek letters or even

selective living groups will soon be a legend of the past, much like Thursday night kegs or the Hideaway. And even this move seems to result more from the University’s changing opinion of fraternities than from an attempt to increase fairness in housing assignments. Finally, Trent Drive Hall is being phased out, the WestEdens Dink is currently under construction and the longterm future of Central Campus is being examined. Still, even without these latest changes, the realities of campus living arrangements were, and still are, handled in a rather fair manner. One can hardly think of a more even-handed approach to housing than a randomized lottery process that gives students options to block with their

Charging students more for air-conditioned rooms also seems natural. If anything, it should be noted that air conditioning cannot simply be requested on an individual room basis, provided it’s not accompanied by a doctor’s note. I’m not sure what the exact purpose behind this policy is, but I can see its effects: A pair of wealthy roommates cannot pay extra for air conditioning while their next-door neighbor has to sweat it out in September because the additional cost of air conditioning presents a significant financial burden. And since single rooms cost the University more money in terms of maintenance and building costs, basic economics dictate that they cost more. Even beyond that, would it be fair for students to pay the same amount of money for a triple-occupancy a room in the basement of Trent compared to a single room in House C, as the two rooms are obviously unequal in value? A broad liberal arts education is supposed to be a matter of four years of choice and the housing situation certainly appears to have been engineered to emphasize just that—choice. That not everyone gets or can afford their top choice is, I hate to say it, to be expected. We can’t all live in 330 sq. foot doubles on Main West, but much has been done to make sure that ability to pay is not the only determining factor in housing assignments. Regardless of what you may think of the way fraternities and selective houses admit their members, you cannot “buy” your way onto Main West Campus. And that comes close enough to fairness for my tastes.

One can hardly think

friends and to freely choose from a more housing locations available to to them when they pick. Moreover, as they advance in their Duke lottery careers, most students end up with progressively better housing. I admit that there is some luck involved in such a progression and that, of course, those who are not as lucky are instead gifted with the Trent experience. But whenever I sat down and attempted to think up a better solution that could satisfy everyone, I failed. In light of all this, I am skeptical that there is a better and more realistic solution to minimizing the class divide’s influence on campus housing than the one Assistant Dean of Housing Assignments Bill Burig and his staff struggle with each year.
